They invented slums. They invented child labor. They put
Saddam Hussein in power. They burned Joan of Arc at the stake, and
they enslaved the globe to get their tea fix. We're talking about
England, of course, and the terrible evils they've set loose on the
world. In The Evil Empire, American author Steven Grasse documents
the 101 worst atrocities of Mother England everything from
foxhunting to the invention of the concentration camp. With an
irreverent mix of historical facts, smart commentary, and
red-blooded American arrogance, Grasse offers a devastating
critique of the country that gave us the machine gun, factory
labor, and the metric system. Publishing just in time for the
Queen's birthday (April 21), The Evil Empire is essential reading
for true-blue Americans and others oppressed by the English
throughout history.
